【 摘 要 】

ABSTRACTObjectives: This review aimed at evaluating changes in alveolar bone thickness after completion of orthodontic treatment.Methods: Only prospective clinical studies that reported bone thickness in adult patients undergoing non-surgical orthodontic treatment were considered eligible. MEDLINE, EMBASE and LILACS databases were searched for articles published up to July 2018.Results:A total of 12 studies met the selected criteria. Most of the studies showed that orthodontic treatment produces a reduction in bone thickness of incisors, mainly at the palatal side.Conclusion:On patients undergoing different orthodontic treatment techniques, there was a significant bone thickness reduction, mainly on the palatal side.Clinical relevance:These findings are relevant and have to be considered in diagnosis and planning of tooth movement, in order to prevent the occurrence of dehiscence and fenestration in alveolar bone.
